Ihe great SIOUX Indian reservation, if opened
to settlement, would undoubtedly prove to
be one of the richest coal fields of the terri
tory.
Marble, granite. stone, quarzite, jasper. etc.
found principally at Sioux Falls, Dell
Rapids and in the Black Hills-also receive a
generous share of the governors attention.
BRICK CLAY, POTTERs' CLAY, CEMENT ETC.
Clay of excellent quality for the manufact-
ure of brick, is abundant everywhere, and
brickyards are located in all towns, where
there is demand for building material. In
the cities of the most importance of South
Dakota, of Central Dakota of North Dakota,
of the Black Hills one sees on every hand
massive blocks and neat dwellings con-
structed OF brick of home manufacture which
would do credit to any. This clay is suitable
also for the manufacturing of pressed and
fire brick aud terra Gotta, industries already
developed to some extent.
In the Black Hills are found inexhaustible
beds of gypsum, which is manufactured into
a fine quality of plaster of Paris. The entire
supply of this article for the Northwest will
come from the mills of the hills as soon as
better railway facilities are provided
A good quality of cement and lime is made
from rock found in different localities of the
territory, especially in the Black Hills.
GOLD AND SILVER.
The Black Hills in which are situated the
five Dakota counties of Butte, Lawrence
Custer, Pennington and Fall River, have been
the recipients of natures fayors TO a wonder
ful degree Here we find an aggregation of
Wealth. SACtileuI SOIL, magDlflcent
scenery and pleasant climate, such as to be
found in similar area elsewhere on the
globe.
The Black Hills produce all the gold and
silver mined in Dakota, and nearly the entire
output is credited to but four mines. The
bills are full of the precious minerals: and
other mines WEIGH are quite as rich in gold
and silver, as the four now paying heavy div
idends 10 stockholders, are simply awaiting
capital for their development The opening
of the great Sioux Indian reservation the
settlement of this expanse of unsettled terri
tory, and the building of railways through to
the Black Hills will bring this about. The
gold and silver produced in the Black Hills
since its settlement, ten years, is S33, ,77O,-

ard IN the first naned even better than
10 the others. Early grain in Ssntalnan
county IL pretty We'll advanced aHdSlil
be ready for the reaper In a week or ten
days. In the Immediate vicinity of
Jamestown crops will yield but o small
return. In this county the wheat yield
will probably average ten bushels, oats
about fortyf bushels. From the points
ports of o NEST tattering yield are re-
oleved. at Melville, New Rockford,
Sykeston and other POINTS, the largest
yield in the history of the country is ex-
peoted. The condition on the James
River Valley road is reported as nearly
as favorable. The present condition OF
Kidder county crops is 400 per cent
better than anticipated three weeks
ago. Many sections in this county will
yield strong twenty buehels OF well-hlled
wheat, while many quarter sections will
average about that. In Beadle county
the yield of wheat, oats, flax, buekwheat,
corn and potatoes will be greater to the
acre than any year since 1882. Wheat
will average from Is to 20 bushels an
acre; oats, 30 to 70. Corn, potatoes, and
all root crops are far advanced. AT
Aurora oats are mostly cut and about
one half q crop. Wheat on new break
ing will average twenty to twenty five
bushels. At Big Stone harvest
is in progress. Wheat will yield
about twelve bushels to the acre.
At Madison wheat is much better than
has been reported and o full average
crop will be gathered. At st Peter the
harvest will be about over this week.
J Judging from reports from threshers,
the crop will be 20 per cent lees than
last year. AT Rochester chinch bugs
are working in corn in immense swarms.
At Shakopee heavy rain fell Tuesday
greatly benefiting corn. Harvesting is
being done in all parts of st. Croix
county, Wisconsin, and while the yield
is very poor it is yet better than was at
first apprehended.

A,Dentist Defends Hi.nself.

W. FL. 81. Brown, a dentist Of this city,
has a card in this weeks Herald to the
effect that I have not received o certIfi-
cate from the dean Of the university OF
Maryland, Baltimore.
He has, at all events, some gall to
publish q card of that kind in the face OF
the facts in the case. I myself took that
certificate to his sofice before twelve
o'clock Tuesday. He had the honor of
reading it; also q letter from. the dear
| which came with it,
If Mr.. Brown sent his card to the
paper before the above mentioned time
and before I received the certificate, he
certainly had plenty OF time to Withdraw
it before the paper was printed were he
disposed to act the part of o gentleman.
On the other hand, if he sent tina,
card after having read the certificate he
is guilty OF publishing q falsehood pure
and simple.
My certificate has been sent to the
secretary and president of the territoria
80
board of dentists, with the proper fee
for a permit to practice in Dakota.
shall wait a reasonable time for Its re-
turn. If any unnecessary delay is mad,
I shall try the Issue as to whether a ter
~ritorial board OF dentists can go behind
q university faculty.
The sooner Mfr, Brown learns tina
this world is not revolving around him q
a center, the sooner will @ little ligh,
perhaps e q few liberal ideas, crow
themselves into what few c%onvolution
he has in his one story brain. Som

The River at sioux city,

Journal, 29th: Actively on the river
front is on the increase
rather than the decline. During
Wednesday night and yesterday fore
noon q large area near the foot OF Me-
braska street sank into the water, and
all day long a crowd of people fingered
by the rivers edge, watching the huge
masses as they fell into the swift current.
During the afternoon the damage was
not so great, the caving being confined
to one break, just east OF the foot of
Nebraska street.
A large force of men is at work putting
willows, stone and gravel into the river
| where the breaks have occurred, and
have succeeded in stopping the ravages
| OF the current where the work has been
done. Up to yesterday the work has
been done by the Sioux City and Pacific
an6Sshe Milwaukee companies. Super
Intendent. Sii, less, OF the I.,D,ols Central
came ip yesterday forenoon, on his way
to Sioux Falls. and after "a hurried con
suitation with Superintendent Clark and
General Manager Fitch, gave. orders
for O large force of men and
a quantity oil material to be used
in connection with the work already
done, In the afternoon Road
master Carney arrived with seventy-fys
men and at onoe went to work on thu
lower break, the other companies work
ing above, where their property was tn,
most in danger. The work will be CON
tinued until the banks are safe from
further damage, and then the question
of controlling the current will be con
sidered. For q time yesterday it ap
peared as if the swift current was furthe.
from the shore thar on the previous day
but last evening the undereurrent ant
the boiling eddies were noticed agail
close to the shore.

them entities them to mention in this
connection. The Chicago. and Milwau-
kee u st. Paul railway company dis
tributes Sc. 600 in sash to its employees
in Yankton each month and
multiplying the sum by twelve
produces $4,000 annually, which
that corporation hands over to its work
men in Yankton. On the pay roll there
are forty names enrolled.

and bottling works employ eight men
the year around and among these eight
50, 600 is annually distributed.

tance of eight able bodied men in carry
ing on his business. Among these eight

amounts to $3.50.
: w. b. Valentine, contractor and build.
err, has had seven men working for him
every month this year ana during the

SIS ,1S4.
Dudley, Richey & Gross, manufactur-
ing hardware merchants, pay $3.50 each
month to the three men who are kept
busy all the year By the firm. This in
one year amounts to $2,76G.

raters, pay to each of four mep every

amounts to So $50.
70 the twelve people who mauufae.

1t is suggested to the farmers by a
Yankton man who has examined the
matter that a wire placed close to the
ground On wire fences, will go a great
ways toward alternating the dapgerfrom
electricity to cattle kept in pastures
surrounded by barb wire fences. Cattle
naturally GEEK the corners of fences for
shelter when there is a storm, and light
ming, it seems, frequently strikes the
top wire OF a fence and running along
it to the. corner is attracted to and kills
the cattle, The theory advanced is that
d wire close to the ground will attract
the electricity and conduct it into the
ground.
The storm of Tuesday night last
passed over section of country nearly
two hundred miles long and about forty
miles wide, and all along that route
more or less damage was done. The
Yankton insurance company, through its
agents in MoOook, Hutchinson, Bon
Homme, Turner and Yankton counties,
has received notices of losses upon
houses, stock and grain in many places
